Question
i have a honda pressure washer and when i crank it it seems like the engine is under a strain without pulling the trigger on the wand.I took the pump off and the engine runs fine.and all the parts move smoothly in the pump.what do i do

Answer
Hello Eric:

>>Sorry for the Delay. This Question was Located in the Question Pool. I am Also on Vacation and I had a Few Minutes to Answer Questions.
>>From your Description it Sounds like the Pressure Release is Stuck Open and is Causing Pressure on the Pump when you are Starting the Engine.
>>Disassemble, Clean and Lubricate the Pressure Release or Replace the Pressure Release Valve and the Problem should be Corrected.
>>You can View a Breakdown/IPL of the Mower/Engine at this Site Addy, http://hayward.arinet.com/scripts/EmpartISAPI.dll?MF&app=ASP&lang=EN&TF=Mainfram... and Select the Catalog American Honda. Then Select your Product.
>>Please, Do Not Hesitate, If  I Missed Something or you Hit a Snag or this Does Not Correct the Problem, I am Here if You Require More Assistance.
Hope this Helps. Let me Know What Happens, Please. May the All Mighty Bless You and Yours. Be Safe and Be Happy. Thanks.


Good Luck


Respectfully
